Freedom Is Forgiveness

For those who long have held their hate,
Rolled up inside- a cancerous state,
Eating at compassion’s

For many, it remains but a tantalizing illusion
Reached for, but never attained
Each tiny spark of unfulfilled hope
Eternally

Far flung from home, they

Realize some things are worth fighting for.

Everlasting sacrifices

Earn posthumous glory

Duty

Flexibility and free rein
Rejoicing in independence, no need to fear
Enjoying liberty
Earning respect and giving it, too.
Discretion
